sliverfinger Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Well, I've finally finished building my shop (almost) and aquired some wood from the fine folks at A&M Woods in Cambridge, Ontario. I've decided that my 1st project will be a Telecaster style guitar, (keeping it simple, lol). The body will be swamp ash, maple neck, rosewood fretboard. I've created body & neck templates from pics posted on Guide to Guitarbuilding, only to find out that after months of searching, A&M Woods have templates you can trace right next to their HUGE selection of woods! What an awesome place! Anyone needing wood, this is THE PLACE!! [url=http://www.forloversofwood.com] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlleyw Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Ummmm. . . You might find that you can get wood more cheaply by wandering around through cabinet shops and lumber yards. I found a chunk of curly maple big enough for a top for $10. In the meantime the guys at the cabinet shop who do some planing and resawing for me sold me a piece of mahogany for $20 that as big enough to build a les paul body with quite a bit to spare. See, the cabinet makers out there end up with "shorts" that are all but useless to them, but mana from heaven to us. At any rate, that site looks like a good resource! Thanks, and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
